Gardens Inspiring Volunteerism and Education
Why 沙巴体育安卓版下载?
GIVE GArdens are 4 foot by 8 foot gardens designed to start new gardeners with some resources and skills to grow some of their own food. We can also do larger consultations and builds on a case by case basis.
In 2021/22, our goal was to plant over 100 gardens- and we did it! Chantelle Sookram led the charge, reaching folks through word of mouth and through partner organizations like the CLEO Institutes Empowering Resilient Women Classes. Chantelle is exploring other ventures now, but Rhi and Umar are helping provide gardens when requested, so let us know if you need a started garden at home!
According to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), a "food desert" is an area in the United States with limited access to affordable and nutritious food, particularly an area composed of predominantly low-income neighborhoods and communities. A 沙巴体育安卓版下载 Garden supplements a family or individual's diet with fresh vegetables and herbs and encourages fresh air and gardening exercise.
沙巴体育安卓版下载 gardens began in April 2009 when a family living in a food desert wanted Urban Oasis to teach them how to make a food garden. The mother had a new baby on the way, the father was working long hours in retail, and the 4-year-old daughter was very excited to grow vegetables to eat. Their learning time was limited, and instead of teaching with just words and diagrams, we decided the best way to learn was by practice.
With a handful of volunteers and donated materials, the first 沙巴体育安卓版下载 garden was planted with a lot of hands-on learning for the recipient family.
Since the first 沙巴体育安卓版下载 garden was planted, many more have arisen, teaching recipients who then inspire others and teach their neighbors to make their own gardens (often without our help). Hundreds of volunteer hours have been donated from people with a lot of expertise (Master Gardeners) to people with no experience.
